This hotel deserves every cent. Located seaside Ortygia, it offers a very luxurious stay. The only problem is that it may be a bit difficult to find, because the road sign says "Passeggio Arethussa" instead of "Passegio Adorno". But the staff is very friendly, the rooms are barocque, and there is always this scent around that is very fresh and... More

Located in Syracusa Ortigia this site is extraordinary This hotel is among the most prestigious and usually quite costly but we got a reasonable price in December so decided for this special treat. Very well located (except for the inconveniences of parking) the hotel is very Liberty style rooms excellent and the breakfast on the roof top garden is very... More

We arrived at 8:30pm, in the pouring rain, with no reservation. It was my birthday. We had had a long day touring and been through bad traffic so were late getting to Siracusa. My husband sent me in to beg for a room. I was tired and wet and must have looked a fright. I mentioned to the receptionist it... More

I stayed during a recent trip and had a very positive experience. It is right off the Piazza Duomo and in easy walking distance to a number of restaurants and shopping. My room faced the water and a majestic cluster of palm trees. It's directly across from Fonte Aretusa with the giant papyrus cluster in the center. My room was... More

The location is picture perfect. On Ortygia Island, across thje street from the water and from a lovely park and the ancient Fountain of Arethusa. The staff never seemed to want to engage with guests, whether to handle problems with the room, restaurant reservations or where to find various services within Siracusa. On our last day, they directed us to... More

Many rooms are old fashioned, but pleasant in Art- deco style, airconditioning and heating are unreliable, so is the staff and the elevator. The roof garden has a splendid view, but the food and service is appalling.Breakfast is probably better in a B&B? At this Hotel my suitcase was mishandled and damaged and this, in my opinion, sums up the... More

We stayed at this hotel for 2 nights and had a wonderful time! The hotel is in a very nice building and a lovely area, just in Ortiga (where you as a tourist want to stay). Breakfast is very nice, can sit out on the balcony and enjoy the view for hours and hours. We had the restaurant on our... More

Reading the mixed reviews we didn't really know what to expect. We had booked in advance and when we got there we found the door closed. We rang, no answer, so we had to call them up to finally get in. Not a good start! And the rest of the stay (two nights) was downhill all the way. First room... More

Also everytime we call the front desk, they told different reasons why there is no hot water in the room (how do they exlaing why... More
